<p align=center><b>Release 3.2: db_dump</b></p>
<p>In previous releases of Berkeley DB, the <a href="../../utility/db_dump.html">db_dump</a> utility dumped Recno
access method database keys as numeric strings.  For consistency, the
<a href="../../utility/db_dump.html">db_dump</a> utility has been changed in the 3.2 release to dump
record numbers as hex pairs when the data items are being dumped as hex
pairs.  (See the <b>-k</b> and <b>-p</b> options to the
<a href="../../utility/db_dump.html">db_dump</a> utility for more information.) Any applications or
scripts post-processing the <a href="../../utility/db_dump.html">db_dump</a> output of Recno databases
under these conditions may require modification.</p>
